His actual work focuses in particular on the development of digital strategies using verifiable credentials along the continuously changing regulatory requirements, for example the reorganization of complex KYC/KYB processes at financial institutions due to new EU anti money laundering directives (AMLR, AMLD/6) or the implementation of DORA guidelines as part of KYS processes at large corporations.
